SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The
Department of Education is especially interested in public comment
addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to
the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of information technology. Please note that
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered
public records.
Title of Collection: Implementation of Title I/II Program
Initiatives.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0902.
Type of Review: A reinstatement of a previously approved
information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 770.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 872.
Abstract: The second round of data collection for the
Implementation of Title I/II-A Program Initiatives study will continue
to examine the implementation of policies promoted through the
Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) at the state and district
levels, in four core areas: School accountability and support for low-
performing schools, improving teacher and leader effectiveness, state
content standards, and assessments. The first round of data collection
for this study was conducted in Spring and Summer 2014.
The purpose of this follow-up data collection is to provide policy
makers with detailed information on the core policies promoted by Title
I and Title II-A being implemented at the state and district levels,
and the resources and supports they provide to schools and teachers.
The timing of the data collection is critical to provide early
information on the implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act
(ESSA) in the 2017-18 school year.
This study will rely on information collected from existing
sources, for which there are no respondents or burden, and on a set of
revised state and district surveys based on the 2014 data collection in
order to address the study's research questions. Extant data sources
include (a) the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and
(b) EDFacts data.
The revised surveys of states and school districts will begin in
March 2018. All respondents will have the opportunity to complete an
electronic (e.g., web-based) survey (or paper survey, if preferred).
The survey respondents are described briefly below:
State Surveys: The state survey will be sent to the chief state
school officer in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The state surveys will be administered using an electronic instrument
divided into modules corresponding to the four core areas.
School District Surveys. The school district survey will be sent to
school superintendents from the same nationally representative sample
of 570

school districts that participated in the 2014 survey, as well as a new
nationally representative sample of 149 charter school districts. The
district survey will be web-based and modularized, corresponding to the
four core areas, to allow for completion by one or multiple
respondents.
